The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has called for a more inclusive approach to tax reforms, focusing on better support for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.
Yilwatda made this call at an Inclusive Tax Reform town hall meeting with leaders of the disability community in Abuja today.
The event was organised by All-Rights Foundation Africa, with funding from the European Union through its Support for Democratic Governance in Nigeria programme.
The minister emphasised the need for tax relief on disability-related expenses, corporate incentives for inclusive employment, and VAT reductions on assistive devices and healthcare services to ease the financial burden on disabled individuals.
